detail: Part of the Games People Play lecture series. Lecture by Miltos Manetas. Wide swaths of the Internet and computer domains are still outlaw making them inherently sexy as only outlawed subjects can be. Discussions of this thesis will be explored via topical presentation of: 1. Neen and Telic. 2. Life after Googlism. 3. Books and other pretty products after Cafepress. 4. Internet Art: Is Anybody Watching? Does it really matters?. 5.Videogames: the best they can offer is violence and sex. Where is the Sex? Miltos Manetas was born in Athens, Greece and studied visual arts in Brera-Milan, Italy. He lives and works between Paris and New York where he creates his "signature" work of oil on canvas paintings of wires, cables and computer hardware. Other creations entail short looped fragments for video games such as Tomb Raider, exhibitions of computer-generated vibra-colour prints, and the commissioning of an advertising agency and cognitive scientists to create and vet an '-ism' to describe his own work.
